Myths concerning christening or baptism
- "You can't be married or buried in a church unless you are baptised." This is totally incorrect. You may!
- "If my child dies, he will not go to heaven" Christian teaching has always stressed that all infants do go to heaven, regardless of whether they have been christened or not.
- "Christening makes my child a Christian" This is not correct. Baptism is a first step in the right direction, but as your child grows, he needs to learn about God through Sunday School and through your reading the Bible (using a good children's edition) at home.
A Christian is one who trusts in and follows Jesus.
